Atomic Rooms

Antonio Faccilongo took fantastic photos of the Mao-policy-mandated nuclear shelters that had to be created beneath every new building where people could live for months. Cheap and plentiful, they've turned into living and communal spaces for the Chinese too poor to afford not-nuclear-shelter housing. Cyberpunk. As. Fuck.

OK, disclaimer: I got really into Mastodon this week. I even made a this more nuanced scoop from someone who's been around the world for a bit, too. You can follow me at @[email protected]! Everyone's so nice there.

But literally why was this created? I mean it's REALLY cool but I cannot believe the number of people that must have gotten paid for this to be possible. as the article says... you can't stop the #brands. I really recommend playing around with creating your own package - it's straight up silly how much craft and care has gone into this experience.

Crazy high-res images and video of how microbes are like shooting each other with harpoons and spears and reeling them in and stuff! At all levels, nature is violent and brutal. Except humanity. We're perfect.

A useful little tweetstream about how Siri can potentially give away tons of your personal information (including where you parked, where you live, and more) to strangers, and importantly, how to turn them off.

Way's Notes

Hey there!

Hope your week is going well! (I know, it's Monday, it just started. (Then again, maybe you have odd hours? I don't know.)) Didn't something happen recently? Something important? Can't recall. I've just been getting ready to do my taxes, but I don't want to do them, so here's an extra datamoshing gif instead. Oh! If you're into glitchy things, and you haven't seen through the Glitch Artists' Collective or elsewhere, I published an update to byebyte which includes a new shuffle mode and some other improvements. Enjoy!

Administrative: I've received a bunch of very useful and nice email, which I still need to get to but I wanted to let y'all who have sent them know I know they exist, just continuing to get routine back after Minneapolis.

OK, that's it from me. Blah blah blah. Thank you, as always, for reading - and tell your friends. This is a real internet-local dealio right here.
